Import fields
Once you've chosen your import type, you'll need to enter details about it. Here's the description of fields you should see in Insight.
Here are general fields, common for every import type:
Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The name of the import. |
| Description | The description for your convenience. |
| Concatenator | You can specify a default concatenator. When joining multiple data locators into one Insight attribute, this will be the default concatenator. One example could be to join two columns like "First name" and "Last name" into one attribute. So "Mathias" (first name) and "Edblom" (last name) will be concatenated as "Mathias Edblom" if using \s as concatenator. Enter \s for space-concatenated. To include a concatenate character, place the value between double quotes (i.e "\s"). |
| Empty Values | Defines what should happen when a Data Locator is empty. Should the import remove the attribute value or just ignores it and leave the current value as is. |
| Defines what should happen if a Data Locator is unknown to Insight. This could happen with attribute types like "Status" and "Select". The value can be added as an option or just ignore the value. | |
Format for date fields in import source to convert dates into Insight. If left empty, Insight will automatically try to find correct format. | |
| Format for date/time fields in import source to convert dates into Insight. If left empty, Insight will automatically try to find correct format. The format should be specified according to the Java SimpleDateFormat guidelines. |
These fields are specific to an import type (module).
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
Restrict Groups | Only users in selected group(s) will be imported. |
Specify if Insight should include inactive users from source. |
Scheduling fields are responsible for keeping your data in sync:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Synchronizing Account | The Jira user to use when synchronize data into Insight |
| Cron Expression | The interval for the automatic synchronization. |
| Automatically Synchronize | If the import should be scheduled for automatic synchronization. |

When you're ready, go to 2. Create object type and attribute mapping.
